A Place Upon the Green
When life on Earth is over, Life anew is seen
Affording simple pleasures, In a place upon the green
The course behind is in the past, A journey lived by faith
Step by step life's fairway, Brought me here by grace
Now I've gained new access, The course unfolding view
To master hill and valley, With each stroke straight and true
To enter into pleasures, Of the beauty I have seen
Since I was given entrance, To a place upon the green
